[PATCH] EDAC: altera: Delete an inappropriate dma_free_coherent() call in altr_sdr_mc_err_inject_write()
From: Salah Triki
Date: Wed Jul 30 2025 - 23:16:22 EST
`dma_free_coherent()` must only be called if the corresponding
`dma_alloc_coherent()` call has succeeded. Calling it when the allocation
fails leads to undefined behavior.
Add a check to ensure that the memory is only freed when the allocation
was successful.
